About this map

The northern edge of the Superior National Forest dominates this section of St. Louis County, where a complex network of waterways and timber-access trails defines the landscape. The Little Fork River meanders through the northern townships, joined by the Little Fork River Trl and various county routes like Co Rd 115. Further south, the terrain transitions into significant wetland areas, most notably the Lost Lake Swamp and the drainage basins for Sassas Creek and the Rice River.

Resource management and recreation are evident in the dense concentration of named forest roads and state trails. High-activity corridors such as Minnesota Highway 1 provide access to interior points like Big Rosendal Lake and Rosendal Lake. The inclusion of the David Dill-Arrowhead State Trl and the Taconite Trl highlights the area's modern role as a hub for long-distance trail systems through the dense Minnesota woods.
